OpenNLP - Machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text

The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text. It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services. OpenNLP also includes maximum entropy and perceptron based machine learning.

The Apache OpenNLP library contains several components, enabling one to build a full natural language processing pipeline. These components include: sentence detector, tokenizer, name finder, document categorizer, part-of-speech tagger, chunker, parser, coreference resolution. Components contain parts which enable one to execute the respective natural language processing task, to train a model and often also to evaluate a model. Each of these facilities is accessible via its application program interface (API). In addition, a command line interface (CLI) is provided for convenience of experiments and training.
